Probate-Probate Court

bell asked:


I saw a property listing with “probate” listed in the disclosures. I would guess it means the owner died, and its sold by the estate but can you tell me more?

What is a probate sale like? is there anything I should know? do they go smoothly? Or is it something to be wary of (like a short sale)

Good links would be great too, I tried searching but brought up a lot of get “rich quick: scam type sites.
Thanks

she listed me as an heir, but intentionally put another address so I wouldn’t receive notice. What options do I have. Now it’s past the deadline to contest. How will this look to the courts.

roughly speaking.
we are in cook county, IL (greater chicago)
we have retained an attny and he said it cd vary between 2-5k – that is a big range. I wanted to get a sense of the reasonableness of this range.

the estate is some cds and a house – under 300-400k in total

Hi,
I have been seeing some things on TV about Probate real estate and how they are better then foreclosures.
Can someone tell me a little bit about Probate and how it works.
